We ( http://www.dna-evolutions.com ) are currently doing a market
survey to find out whether users would be interested in having a Tour
Optimization addon component for MapPoint. In particular we are
planning to integrate our JOpt.NET component bringing VRPTW and TSP
features to
MapPoint 2006 either as a plugin component or as an addition to the
original object model.

Is there any demand and what kind of integration would be preferable ?

Thanks for short feedback !

background information:
JOpt.NET is an automated shipment planning and dispatching component
for .NET. It can solve Travelling Salesman Problems (TSP) and
Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problems with Time Windows (CVRP,VRPTW).
It offers route and transport optimisation with respect to various
constraints such as time windows, load capacities, and
prescribed itinerary. The component is based on genetic algorithms,
and automatically determines an optimized allocation of vehicels to an
arbitrary set of orders.
